Volume 1, Chapter 40: Have You Missed Me?

Ever since the exposé, Shen Zhien had barely acknowledged Li Shen.

Lin Xingchen glanced at the tablet screen in Wei Renwu's hand; it displayed a map of Chengdu, with a black dot blinking and moving across it.

"Why are you always so quiet?" Lan Chuyan suddenly opened her eyes and asked curiously.

Since the dawn of time and the creation of the universe, this integration of the Alliance worlds was the greatest transformation of existence to ever occur.

That was easy to handle! Couldn't you see the M16 quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun behind them firing continuous suppressing shots at suspicious targets? It was a star weapon of the Second World War, combining four M2 heavy machine guns with an electronically controlled firing mechanism to create a fearsome low-altitude defense weapon.

However, as soon as pressure was applied, the frame collapsed with a clatter, startling Feng Yue, who hunched her shoulders and fluttered her eyelashes.

I had to force myself to remain calm; I couldn't let Bo Yin gloat. Silently, I pushed his body away, got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom.

The Colt Python revolver held six rounds in total; two had already been fired, leaving four remaining.

I looked down at his waist again; his white shirt was tucked in, giving his frame a trim, compact appearance.

"Regret what? Regret marrying me?" She had just been moved to tears by his words, only for this man to ruin the moment immediately after.

Ling Xiao rotated the jade thumb ring on his finger, watching him with a calm gaze, completely unbothered.

Ye Qin: "..." Why did it feel like everything this man said was meant to seduce her?

"Hehe, as long as I don't have to pay, I'm fine with anything," I said, offering Murong Yue a sycophantic smile.

With Old Yang there throughout the journey, Li Yi didn't have to worry about his safety and drifted peacefully into sleep.

Chu Bin was preoccupied with preparing for the competition against his rival and didn't notice what the man beside him was thinking, so Chen Zheng began to formulate his own plans and arrangements.

"I won't forget what I promised you. I deceived you before because I had regrets, but I won't do it again," Su Qing said, wiping her mouth slowly.

That night, many chose to bow their heads and become slaves to the True Immortal just to survive.

At the first light of dawn, Ling Xiao led his troops back, arriving at the shores of the East Sea, where the Eastern Legion was stationed.

For some reason, Su Chen wanted to howl and roar, but he didn't. Useless roaring was the hallmark of a coward, and he refused to admit he was one. Even if he were to die, he would take the other man down with him.

Han Yang spoke coldly, his palm slick with sweat as he gripped his phone; if things went south, he would immediately summon the Star Players to instantly eliminate this insolent fool.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Gu Yu broke into a cold sweat; he hurried back to the entrance, opened the door, and headed toward the elevator lobby.

McGee tried to jump for a layup, but two Lakers players were crowding him, leaving him no room to shoot.

"I was sent here by the First Madam! To hit me is to slap the First Madam in the face—how dare you!" Mother Song shrieked in agony and rage.

He had seen this expression often; in the past, Sister Yu only wore it when she was calculating how to make money. It seemed she was now ready to apply that same scrutiny to Shi Rui. Yuan Chengxu sighed inwardly, unsure whether he should feel worried or happy for Shi Rui.

Zhao Zhiyun paused, a look of suspicion crossing her face. Lu Chengyu was, after all, the second young master of the Lu family; appearances had to be maintained. It was one thing to secretly undermine him or stunt his growth, but if he were beaten so miserably in public, where would that leave the Lu family's reputation?
